360, by far

 

[daclynk]

Xbox 360

it was Wii360 for a reason.

 

[Horseganador]

Best generation? None. The least bad was the 360, but they messed up with Kinect starting in 2009.

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

What about non,of the above...And for all the ones that choose the 360...That console did NOT deserved that title, the Red Ring Of Dead was the greatest disaster in console history EVER.....you all cant denai that...

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

Xbox 360 is what turned millions of people into Xbox fans

Not for me...after 3 RRoD's i gave up and never looked back, that was the last xbox i ever bought...

 

[Cakeboxer]

Series X was impressive, but the generation was fucked. So i go with 360.

 

[Certinty]

I can't believe this even needed a poll.

The 360 era is one of the greatest in all of gaming, hands down.

What a fumble since.

 

[begotten]

I'll go with OG Xbox.

360 might have improved online multiplayer and the socializing aspect in the console space - but I had more fun with the competitive and cooperative nature of the OG Xbox. A lot more good games to play, first party and third party - compared to just Halo, Gears, COD and Bad Company 2 on the next generation when it comes to this space.

Even though OG Xbox had the luxury of a short life-span - the 360 was only actually strong for half a generation.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

360 for sure, one of the best consoles and games and rimes of all time. Honorable mention to the OG Xbox.

Whoever approved the idea of the Xbox one, the console itself and the direction MS went should all be fired.

MAKE XBOX GREAT AGAIN!

 

[Sub_Level]

I want to love the 360, I really do. But I went through four of those things. The hardware failure rate was beyond stupid. I picked OG in the poll.

 

[Mownoc]

Xbox 360 was just an amazing console. Other than paid online, proprietary HDD's and RROD.

Still got my Xbox 360 Slim and played a few games earlier this year. The ability to install any disc-based game to your console for fasting loading and no disc drive sound was a great underrated feature. It had the best console version of third party titles, it was cheaper than the PS3 and it was quieter than the PS3.

OFC the RROD was horrific, though my launch PS3 had the YLOD so...

I prefer the PS3 first party games but as an overall package the 360 is the better console of it's era imo, and MS will never recapture what they did.

 

[kremiso]

i'm still using the third 360 i received in substitution back then
i have a good bunch of remaining titles to complete

the ogxbox was a rock solid system, but the 360 games collection i'm still into it

 

[spookyfish]

LOVE my OG Xbox. So much fun at the time. And the 1X was an impressive piece of kit. So very cool.

But the 360 gen was the best, hands-down.

(EDIT: Someone needs to post the "What is an Xbox?" gif. I'm disappointed, GAF.)

 

[t_wilson01]

Is this poll really needed? They only had one good gen (half really) to speak of.

 

[Hudo]

I had the most fun experiences with the OG Xbox, I have to say. Xbox link parties with Halo alone were worth it.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

The original was the best.

 

[PurePlatinum]

360 might be the most influential console of the last 25 years...for better or worse.

 

[Swauny Jones]

man the OG Xbox made me a legend among my social circle with XBMC on it but the 360 era especially the marketing events and campaigns for their releases were such an amazing time to be a gamer.

 

[Drew1440]

360 for various reasons, Small title updates that were quick to download, the PS2 in comparison would require updates that were in the hundreds of megabytes, trickling down often on a 8MB DSL connection. Optional game installs as standard means you can reduce wear and tear on your DVD drive and speed up loading times, Excellent UI (at least in the NXE era) and cross party chat.

 

[IDKFA]

It has to be the 360.

The only generation where they had a chance of taking over Sony.

 

[Laptop1991]

It was the 360 years easily, the games were top notch at the time and i didn't even own one.

 

[Sephimoth]

360 obv, if you disregard the Kinect plot twist near the end

Love that the OG Xbox was basically the Dreamcast 2 though. Never had one back in the day, but recently got one (and just upgraded the HDD a few mins ago)
